See attached. Hot Line operator told me to enter my tow vehicle VIN # since my RV VIN did not work. This report is to alert you to "potential" and/or "unreported" issues related to Alde RV heating components. I have evidence there have been "leaks" but do not know what if injury they have caused. The manufacture may keep records...if they will share them. I was told by the Consumer Protection Agency this type of issue comes under your jurisdiction: If not, please advise. Another issue not included in the attached document relates to battery ventilation concerns in nuCamp RVs. Is this something you are responsible for?

I have auto door locks, but no manual unlocks. If there is a power loss or front end accident and battery is damaged you cannot unlock doors from inside vehicle to get out. Seems like a hazard as the door buttons are also down inside there hole and you cannot pull them either.

Lock system failure- child's finger caught in door. Vehicle was parked in my garage. We were preparing to go to school. Both front doors were open, my daughter was placing her backpack in front floorboard for school. While doing so, I reached in and started the truck. The locks automatically engaged. She pushed the frt passenger door to, but caught the fisrt joint of her thumb in the door jamb. The door remained in the half latched position. Even after unlocking the vehicle from the inside, we were not able to get the lock to physically disengage and allow the door to open to free her finger. The entire time she was screaming, and out of desperation she yanked her thumb out. Her entire thumb is swollen, and black and blue on the end. I absolutely despise this locking feature on the truck- it is enough to make me consider returning the vehicle- and I have only had it for 6 months. I purchased this truck new in March 2016 from franklin, tn. It was a service loaner with 4700 miles on it at the time.

My vehicle vibrates and shakes at varying speed but mostly between 60 and 75mph. I have been to dealership three times for diagnosis and tires replaced twice. The dealership tested the vehicle with sensors and can not isolate the vibration. I have only had vehicle a few months and question the safety of the vehicle. I wish I had researched the truck on the internet prior to purchase because the problem I am having is known and has a name "the Chevy shake" I hope others will continue to report these concerns because Chevrolet needs to recognize they have a problem and address the issue without the runaround customers are being forced to endure. The vehicle issue needs a recall.
